I can find the bright side in a crisis.

I am leaving behind my instinct to succumb to situations that fall apart around me. The moments that attempt to foil my optimism now bring me into the hopeful sky of opportunity instead.

I owe myself the effort to look beyond the obvious circumstances. I look for the goodness and positivity that are also present, shining brightly beyond the shadows.

The more effort I exert to find the silver lining in my despair, the easier it is for me to stay positive in any situation.

When I feel like giving in, I remind myself to seek that silver lining. Focusing on my search helps to keep me from dwelling on the negative. Today’s efforts greatly benefit my future state of mind as well.

I am ready to make optimism my automatic response in a crisis. Besides reminding me of good things ahead, my optimism also enables me to be the shining light of hope for those around me.

By standing up for my desire for optimism, I change my aura and enlighten those around me.

Today, I face my challenges with positivity. I am fortunate to have come to this insight about choosing optimism. In the end, my mind, body, and soul reap the benefits of my positive thinking.
